Good Evening have we all had a lovely day, i haven't really done much..caught up on some housework and some card making which i must say is unusual for me on a Saturday as i don't usually have time for that so it's been a pleasure.

So here is one of my creations off today it is my card for Sew Many Cards outside challenge, The image i have used is such a cutie called Duncan and you can buy him from sew many cards shop. The challenges i am adding the card too are Cute card Thursday as i have used their fab sketch. Simon says stamp challenge wants things with wings well Duncan has wings. Also Quixotic challenge is "make a splash" and i think Duncan is doing that alright!!

I have used promarkers too colour the image in,Putty,Tan ,Vanilla,Tulip yellow and cyan, papers are from Papermania basic vibrant paper pack,

Glad you popped round to have a peek, really appreciate it, enjoy the rest of the weekend, hugs carol x

Been having a little play this afternoon made my DT card for Friday for my first challenge at sew many cards. Which will be added later. But today i am adding this card for a few challenges which i have been looking at over the weekend. I started with Papertake weekly as it is a sketch this week, and over at Cute Card Thursday it is "Mono Mania"so that was the basics taken care of. Allsorts challenge is "Petals and Pearls" which are my fav things to add to a card, but last of all Crafty Creations would like to see "Paper Piercing" .Also over on the DO CRAFT site the PB challenge was to use an image with clothing so that's why i choose this one.

Papers used are papermania basics, ribbon is from Crafty Ribbons , the new eyelash one, PB image is Ecarte,Splits & pirouette, coloured with promarkers colours putty,almond & orchid as the dresses are paper pierced.
